Post by: Manic _Miner on May 11, 2007, 07:58:58 AM

 I have been watching this site for some time now and I think they are about to release the game soon.They have some very good miniatures and the art work is nice too.
 They have just updated the page with some very nice monster types including a very cool two headed beastie.Which is a must have for me.
 Have a look .

Wow!

I especially like the last faction.  Very, very, unique!

Gotta love the Djinn and "Master Blaster"

I agree, the Djinni is my favorite.  Very nice miniatures and... MERCY!  I wish I could paint half as good!

I don't know if this is a French thing.  But their mini lines, including Rackham, are so distinct than, say, GW or Reaper.

Much more artistic, stylized and flowing, for lack of the better word.

And the painting...good heavens!  Their blending and NMM techniques are awesome to behold! Early Rackham minis were like that and that trend took off!

Josh when the page loads up you will see the big picture with smaller ones underneath.Click on the third from last to see two headed beastie and better pictures of each miniature.
 The style is very impressive and has some very original miniatures in the line.
 If you click on the side bar you can see previous months.The Dijjin is awesome as are some of the Arabian type characters in the faction.

From the French website:


Plus que trois semaines avant la sortie officielle de Hell Dorado ! Aujourd'hui nous vous proposons de découvrir, au grand complet, la boîte de compagnie de la faction des Sarrasins.

Cette compagnie de soldats sarrasins, guidée par le nazir Ibn Hamid ibn Hajjad se compose de deux piliers de la foi, du djinn Chasm al Majid, d'un Hashishin, de quatre combattants sanctifiés et d'une panthère de chasse.


From Google Translator:

More that three weeks before the official exit of Hell Dorado! Today we propose to you to discover, with large complete, the box of company of the faction of Buckwheats.

This company of soldiers buckwheats, guided by nazir it Ibn Hamid ibn Hajjad is composed of two pillars of the faith, of the djinn Chasm Al Majid, Hashishin, four sanctified combatants and a panther of hunting.


That's the translation I got from Google.  Saracens to Buckwheats... Something's lost in translation. :D

Same, exact, translation from Babelfish.

Funny.  Perhaps if they spelled "Saracens" correctly, it would not be a problem?

Alright, My OC side's getting the better of me. :D

Sarrasins translated by google (French to English) is "buckwheats".  But Saracens translated into French to English is... Saracens..

I have a feeling that past ancient wars were started because of a mistranslation of sorts.  Sort of like "I just want to pass through your lands peacefully" gets mistakenly translated to, " All your lands are belong to us."

 Hi Raskal
 I have been watching this forum and it is looking very good so far.I have ordered some of the miniatures from Ebay.
 The miniatures in this game look great and I can wait to see what else is due out in the next few months.

Aside from the awesome figs, I gotta admit, the unique backstory's proving to be the hook for me as well. 

Just have to wait and see if they're going to have an English version of the game.

It's only a matter of time.... ;D
